Conservative Just Unveiled REAL Reason He Thinks Trump Skipped CPAC – His Supporters Won’t Like It

To the sponsors of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), it was simple: Donald Trump’s campaign didn’t want to follow the rules, so he canceled his scheduled speech on Saturday.

The Trump campaign has responded that such is not the case and that Trump’s time was better spent getting delegates in Kansas than talking in Washington.

“… the format was fine,” ran part of a tweet Trump sent out Saturday.

That’s not what American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp said.

“At the end, they just didn’t want to follow those rules, which is, you get to give your speech and then you have to answer questions — and they just didn’t want to do that,” Schlapp said, insisting that altering the rules for Trump would have been unfair to other candidates who abided by them..

Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s campaign manager, denied that the question-and-answer session had anything to do with the last-minute cancellation.

“No candidate in the race for president has answered more questions than Mr. Trump. He has done more interviews than all the candidates combined,” Lewandowski said. The decision was solely based on how best Trump should use his time, he said.

Vogel, on Politico, sought to put Trump’s decision into perspective as Trump has emerged as the GOP’s front-runner.
